1. General information about 1. General information about the innovative teaching practice the innovative teaching practice Title: Construction Debris Challenge Professor: Dijana Likar, Elena Nikolovska, Angelina Taneva-Veshoska Institution: Institute for Research in Environment, Civil Engineering and Energy - IECE Mail: dijana.likar@iege.edu.mk, elena.nikolovska@gim.mk, angelina@iege.edu.mk Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
2. Description of the innovative teaching practice 2. Description of the innovative teaching practice The Construction Debris Challenge is a competition between teams of students, who will work on creating solutions for the given projects. Pair of two teams will work on solving the same problem, given by one construction company. It is expected to have 3-5 pairs of teams and 3-5 companies. Each team will have mentorship from academic staff and professionals from industry. The solutions will be presented on the final event where the most successful teams and solutions will be selected, basing on pre-determined criteria. During this challenge the participants will have opportunity to observe the dynamics of debris generation over different phases in construction. They will explore different strategies that companies are using, propose best scenario in specific case, having in mind type and quantities of waste materials and costs and savings.

2. Description of the innovative teaching practice 2. Description of the innovative teaching practice The objective of the innovative practice: Visit a job-site to observe the dynamics of debris generation over many phases of construction Explore the availability of different strategies to tackle construction debris (recycling methods, sustainable production) Learn about green building materials and products Topic that will be covered in this practice: The role of engineers in construction waste management Investigate construction debris production - Types and quantities of waste materials produced Cost savings accrued by recycling rather than disposing of waste in landfills Positive influence on the environmental impact of construction Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
3. Duration and Target group 3. Duration and Target group Duration: 3 months Target group: Students Involvement of industry or third parties: Industry partners will be invited to participate in the Construction Debris Challenge. Professionals from industry will present real every day problems in construction, cases with implemented solutions, and evaluate the proposals from the students.
